Real solos use licks! But… what’s a lick?

‘Licks’ can be thought of as words that you put together to make sentences that tell your story.

Blues Licks Guitar Pro Tab

A lot of blues licks utilize string bending - pretty prominently, actually - but that’s a bit out of scope for a beginner’s lesson. I messed around with the minor pentatonic for years before I got into licks and there is plenty of fun to be had without using bends.

A great start is to mess with the set solo you’ve already learned in the last lesson and explore that - but here are some more tips to help you get started right and make it easy and fun as possible!

Leave Space

Since licks are words, if you don't put space between them it really doesn't make any sense.

Space also gives you time to think about what you might play next which is awesome for beginners - and it sounds better (and more pro!).

Don’t panic if you feel you’re leaving too much space! You’d be surprised, but what feels like a long, dragging pause for you won’t feel nearly as long for the listener. Keep in mind, you’ll likely have a backing track or jam buddy to help fill those spaces too.

Play/Rest Approach

Similarly, think of the rests between licks as commas or periods between phrases or sentences. They function very much like punctuation in writing. This should make more sense to you as you start playing, but also try listening to some blues music to hear how your favorite blues guitarists optimize their rests to get the effect they’re after.

Repetition

What’s the best way to drive a message home? Repetition! If you want a tune to stick in your audience’s ear, repetition is the way to go. It gives a sense of cohesion to what you’re playing, and you can try adding in slight variations on the theme.

Also, don’t forget that you’ll be playing over a backup chord progression. The same lick played over a different set of chords could give it a whole new sound and feel! Again - try it out, see if you like it.

See what I did there…? ;)

Listen to the Whole

Alright, now that you’re a bonafide soloist, it’s easy to forget that there’s a whole band behind you!

Try not to get so focused on your solo that you lose sight (or sound?) of the band. Remember - you’re playing a song, not a solo. You’ll want to make sure that the backing chords work well with the notes you’re playing over them and vice versa.

Wrong Notes

While there’s not really any such thing as a “wrong” note in music, you might accidentally or intentionally veer off of the scale you’re working with. Luckily, sometimes that works! If you like the way it sounds, then do it again!

Practice Until it Happens

This all might seem like quite a lot to dive into, but if you practice slowly, deliberately, and consciously, then the rest will eventually become second-nature. Truly!

Just like learning a language - it takes practice to get fluent to the point where you are not having to think what you are saying - it just happens.

You can do it if you put your time to it!
